Development of polymorphic microsatellite markers for Fagus pashanica (Fagaceae) using next-generation sequencing
Genes Genet Syst. 2023 Oct 26. doi: 10.1266/ggs.23-00160. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFagus pashanica is an endangered and endemic tree species in China. To understand its genetic diversity and structure for effective conservation, we used next-generation sequencing data to develop a set of microsatellite markers. Twenty-three of the 68 designed loci were successfully amplified. Fifteen polymorphic loci with clear peaks were selected for further analyses in three F. pashanica populations sampled from Nanjiang, Wangcang and Pingwu counties in Sichuan Province, China. The number of alleles per locus ranged from two to 11. ...

The role of transposable elements in human evolution and methods for their functional analysis: current status and future perspectives
Genes Genet Syst. 2023 Oct 20. doi: 10.1266/ggs.23-00140. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTransposable elements (TEs) are mobile DNA sequences that can insert themselves into various locations within the genome, causing mutations that may provide advantages or disadvantages to individuals and species. The insertion of TEs can result in genetic variation that may affect a wide range of human traits including genetic disorders. Understanding the role of TEs in human biology is crucial for both evolutionary and medical research. This review discusses the involvement of TEs in human traits and disease susceptibility, as well as ...

Unveiling the expansion of keratin genes in lungfishes: a possible link to terrestrial adaptation
Genes Genet Syst. 2023 Oct 17. doi: 10.1266/ggs.23-00188. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTKeratins are intermediate filament proteins that are important for epidermal strength and protection from desiccation. Keratin genes are highly duplicated and have diversified by forming two major clusters in the genomes of terrestrial vertebrates. The keratin genes of lungfishes, the closest fish to tetrapods, have not been studied at the genomic level, despite the importance of lungfishes in terrestrial adaptation. Here, we identified keratin genes in the genomes of two lungfish species and performed syntenic and phylogenetic analyses...
